Mink, who was christened by Dev Anand when he launched her in 2003's Pyar Ka Tarana, says she enjoyed being part of the show. "The game looked very easy but it was really tough when we tried it. No matter how fit you are, you will be in for a rude shock when you fall because it's unexpected!" she exclaimed.

Mink got injured quite a few times on the water adventure sports show.

"I cleared the red balloons (contestants have to jump across four balloons kept in a row) twice but I had a ligament tear because I tried to be perfect," she adds "But despite my injury, I didn't miss a single episode. I am really proud that I was better than the girls and some boys too," she smiles.
